You keep downplaying Christianity's role in current US fascism by trying to pretend it's not real Christianity. Christianity has always been about genocidal Imperialism, read the damn book.
How can organizing itself do anything, if this happens I fear vigilantes are the least of our problems, trumps the same guy who called in the military to stop a protest, if this comes to pass what can we do short of full revolution?

“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.” -Sinclair Lewis
like it's been in other fascist regimes
Poverty is prosperity, sickness is health, tyranny is freedom.
@@markbryan9127 It's conservatives who clearly want to implement fascism and have a plan for it.
You're also talking about someone who spoke of democracy and fiscal responsibility then proceeded to destroy the value of a vote, set up the cascade of recessions that have occured, massively raise income inequality, and massively raise the budget deficit.
@@eitkoml this ain't 1984 bro
@@illuminoti8525 I think it is like in 1984. I've been told about how the US is so prosperous and how well I'm doing when I am barely getting by, I've been told that my health is better than in any other time and how good my overpriced and shit-quality healthcare is in the US, and I have been told about how there is so much freedom for me when I deal with oppressive and exploitative employers, oppressive and exploitative landlords, and a government that does not represent me in any way.
There is also out of control surveillance by tech corporations.
The conservative argument "if you don't like it here, leave" is starting to look pretty tempting for me... 😐
Edit: I don't actually want to leave the country, because I truly believe we can make things better before it's too late. Please keep that in mind when you reply. Thanks!
Psh, they should leave if THEY don’t like it.
They really do hate it here though...😂
They have all the money, let them go somewhere else, and let us make this country a more perfect union.
Sort out your immigration papers and I'll pay for the plane ticket!
To leave is to admit defeat and let them take over. The solution is to never back down and fight till the end. Hopefully, it won't come to a physical, violent and militarized fight (more than it already is) but we've got to be prepared to fight for what we believe in a 1000x stronger than they do or they will win. The Nazis lost not because they were helplessly incompetent (though incompetence makes a foe more easily defeated) but because they were met with resistance once we realized what they were, what goals they had and what they were capable of. Let's resist conservative, fascist and neo-liberal capitalist politicians before they have destroyed everything we stand for.
“Conservatives don’t really like rules, especially rules that protect the environment and poor people.” Very succinctly said.
Y’all hate us so much you just call us facists. How bout you criticize our ideas instead of just screaming facist.
You have a very 2d view of what conservatives are. They aren’t Disney villains, they’re people like you and me who just happen to disagree on how to save the world and maybe you should try to understand them before you insult them.

I’m glad the people are finally waking up as a whole to how bad Reagan was for our country especially for anybody who isn’t in the top 5%.
He moved more coke than scar face with ollie north to fund and illegal war in South America brought it in on military helecopters and flooded the inner cities lowers cost fueling the crack epidemic while running the war on drugs to fund his doners the private prision idustrial complex he raided the social security trust fund to pay for tax cuts for the rich ran up the national debt 186% not even Bush or Trump could beat that
It's rough out there:/
Even scarier is that Reagan would be a RINO by today's standards. As soon as Fox News plays the clip of him saying "The border should be open both ways" he'd get kicked out of the party.

ameirca is no longer a free country. what happened to freedom of religion? this is so upsetting. the country is falling apart, this is truly evil.

I don’t think religion was brought up except for Christianity but go off
happily taking our rights away, doesn’t effect just minorities it affects everyone
I wasn't aware it was against the law to go to church in any city in any state in the U.S. Please enlighten everyone.
I agree. Freedom of religion has been twisted into the “freedom” of organized religion to do whatever they want to whomever they want without consequences, interference, or oversight as long as it’s done in the name of Jesus. Other religions get heavy restrictions and ostracism. When other religions enter the chat “freedom of religion” is replaced with “this is a Christian Nation”. If you don’t like the Christian church you’re going to, you can just go to the one across the street. But if you see a place of worship other than Christian, it’s likely to be the only one in the state, and I guarantee you local Christians are working to shut it down by hook or by crook.
Real freedom of religion is the freedom to choose what religion you believe or don’t believe. To worship any god you want or no god at all. It’s not, not should it ever be the “freedom” of organized Christianity to rule the world and tell everyone what they have to believe.
The dehumanizing language I saw about the lgbt community, especially trans people, were very bothersome to say the least. I skimmed through the pdf, probably should read it.
No normie will care, the average voter is selfish and stupid, they're remember the time when the economy was slightly better in Trump's time (before covid) and assume "ah that's the solution! Trump made economy good!" And vote him in
As a Swiss person, I am always perplexed how some Americans see their constitution like a holy text that shouldn't change.
Here we vote several times a year on laws and policies directly and changes to the constitution happen often, it's normal 😅
French here, and indeed I find it baffling how the American constitution is like the fucking USA Bible. People and cultures change, so it's plain logical that laws and constitutions would change too ?? Except when you worship a country apparently, which is absolutely insane tbh, how does that even happen ???
The US has amended the constitution. They don’t do it often as it takes leadership, courage and bipartisanship. Three items the US is in short supply of at the federal government level.
I’d personally love to see the second amendment go. 😭🙏🏻🕊
Ah, but the US is "special" which is to say some dumbass pushed in the collective soft spot on the national babies head and called it "patriotism"
Americans in general seems to believe in the infallibility of ancient texts.
When I was growing up I wondered how a country like Germany could go SO bad. THIS is how. Those at the top…THEY go bad, those that should be better (or so we’re told).
Business
Religion
Media
Politics
They don’t fight against it as they see it as a tool to retain power and that love of power corrupts them completely.
Власть какого класса?
As a German, it has at times honestly been shocking to learn about the political system in the US. It's insane how powerful the president is.
After WW2, we restructured our system by limiting the powers of the chancellor and president, and setting up checks and balances in a more effective way.
It's not as simple as leaders going bad and everyone else just following along; how the system was set up played a major role. We had checks and balances back then, but once he got in power, Hitler was able to bypass those, or even disable them entirely.
@@remy2718 In the US, we really should've been paying more attention to the way Germany handled and restructured things after everything from WW2 started settling down. Most especially after the wall fell.
Better late than never, I guess. Here's hoping, anyway.
@@someblackguy7371 here's the thing though: Hitler did do things by the book. He was abusing his power. He didn't just go "fuck the rules", he saw weak points within the system and used them to dismantle democracy - all within his right, given his position of power.
I'm not saying the system we have today is perfect, or that laws alone will be enough to deter awful, power hungry people. But a solid system that can't easily be abused or manipulated sure beats giving way too much power to one single person, and simply hoping that person doesn't turn out to be a fascist
Nah it's more how Germans in 1930s did not give a shit about democracy, just like a major portion of the American populace right now.
this is absolutely disgusting. how, in 2024, is THIS a thing?
Authoritarian goons gonna be authoritarian goons. Maybe someday we'll stop being awful but sadly it doesn't look it's happening anytime soon. Instead the 21st century is rhyming with the 20th century in a number of ways.
So if mentioning lgbtq is porn, does that mean mentioning anything straight is also porn?
I guess not.
if homosexuality is porn then heterosexuality is porn, thing is though they forget that sexuality is attraction, not physical stuff 😭😭
First, I want to say how ecstatic I am that someone else is calling this Project 2025 out for what it is! It is actually frightening, but explains why some Republicans are not allowing our government to work. I pretty much love all of your investigative journalism! Thank you for the work you do!
Even if the spineless corporate liberal party wins, it isn't in the material interest of capital for government to function. It aids the propaganda line of "government does stuff bad".
@@VVayVVard There is no restore of balance when people's human rights are shredded. The US is still considerably right wing anyways. The left has had no real power here if that's what you're trying to suggest. Only someone with immense privilege would be able to reach such a mindless conclusion.

I was over at my dad's house the other day helping with some household chores. He lives in a very rural area of a very red state. At the end of the day we went to one of the nearby country bars. It's the kind of place that farmers, truckers, and the working class go to unwind. Biden was on the TV and the local gun store owner said, "You know what? He ain't so bad. The economy is recovering, nobody's rioting, and we're standing up on the world stage again. Can't believe I'm sayin this but Ol' Joe's got my vote next election" I looked around and all I saw were heads nodding in agreement. I even heard a few calls of 'yessir' and 'damn straight' from the men around me
I really hope that happens. The nonsense from Trump and the MAGA crowd is grade-A gaslighting and it makes me crazy how often it doesn't sound like more people see through it all.

I’ll say it again. Too many rational people “don’t want to cause a stir”. We need some rational irrationality…
That's not a rational stance to take. "Don't want to cause a stir" roughly translates to "this is not important enough to care about". And when it comes to politics, every topic to be discussed is important.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 No, sometimes "don't want to cause a stir" means "don't want to get r*ped and unalived in Guantanamo Bay for dissenting too visibly."

You nailed it. I’m a Christian and believe in the God of the Bible. Our leaders are so far from believing “in God we trust.” I think they put it on our money as a joke, because I’m pretty sure that alone is paradoxical… I believe Jesus would so flip that table.
I can assure you that the god they trust, is not the same God we trust (Christian p.o.v)
All I can say is go back and read the book Revelation, what John the Baptist writes is what is unfolding right now!
I will not conform to this world!
Bible god literally outlined the genocide of Canaan.
Jesus (who never claimed to be God) was a doomsday prophet whose predictions were proven wrong by the passage of time. He did, however, seem to believe that those who did not conform would not simply be killed but instead tortured in perpetuity.
Let go of your magical thinking as to protect yourself from manipulation. There's a reason that American fascists appeal to Christianity and it's because they are readily compatible.

The US isn’t the only country who have reverence for whatever makes up the Constitution or whatever democratic system of rules they have - what about Australia and New Zealand? Australia claimed ‘ Terra Nullis’ or no people existed prior to the British landing and taking it over. The only difference is the ‘Founding Fathers’ that is unique to America - but Australia had a similar start to the US. Both did their best to rid the country of the native inhabitants, whatever their motive - usually power. Saying your country’s governance is only a couple of centuries old must be so angrily or hurtfully received by its original inhabitants.
The one good thing Australia has is a Prime Minister who must attend sessions of parliament and hear the arguments of all sides. How can an uninformed President like Trump, who can’t give any legislation the attention it deserves, veto anything with thoughtful consideration- it’s beyond his capacity. I’d hope previous President were briefed but Trump didn’t have that mental acuity needed. Others didn’t either, but I’d hope they were at least briefed rather than listening to the last person he spoke to. He couldn’t have argued into the night - he couldn’t stay awake in his own trial. Prime Ministers can be challenged as the leader - something that happens way too often. If they’re voted in they should keep their term.Had Trump been a Prime Minister he’d have been challenged as Party Leader as soon a it became evident he didn’t have the qualities needed in a leader. No Democratic system is perfect, but it’s the best system so far, but the US system of Democracy is not unique.

Fascism is born out of fear, and it's indeed a very powerful force. We need it to fight it with hope, not reason only.
So this video strengthens fascism by fear mongering about what is essentially the exact same talking points conservatives had since Reagan.
@@sblbb929 no, moron, that is a feature of fascism, and only fascism can create more fascism, which uses IMAGINARY forces to fearmonger over
and this is not not fearmongering because it's actually true and exists (you yourself said this started at Reagan), you can read their PDF of it if you take off your indoctrination goggles and look at it from an outside perspective.
this is their attempt at eliminating elections, should they win there will be no more, just the type that russia or north korea has (which is basically just kabuki theatre to maintain legal deniability).

It’s a shame we hardly ever remember the last time a “conservative manifesto” made its way into our political system.
Carl Schmitt? Thatcher? Reagan? Who are you talking about?
And is it conservativism or fascism? Can’t be both, fascism is inherently revolutionary which is why its borne out of Italian futurism and the struggle for socialism. The “counter revolution” is in fact a revolution. Conservativism is just liberalism.
I often mention how nobody talked about The Project for the New American Century and then the Neo Cons rolled parts of that in the War on Terror when I post about Project 2025.
So, for Star Wars aficionados, Project 2025 is basically the Trump equivalent of "Order 66".
This is absolutely horrifying

I turned 40 this year....born in 83.
I distinctly remember the 90s as this weird period where things were just kinda....excellent.
Perfect? Of course not. But generally speaking? In between the Cold War ending....and 9/11, the economy got better and better, culture was thriving and people were loving it, and the world was relatively peaceful. Can you poke holes in all those bullet points? Of course. But compared to now? Good lord....
I have this very lucid memory of being about 12....in 1995, in history class, learning about the trials and tribulations of the past and I literally thought to myself: "Man...life now is so BORING. Nothing crazy happens anymore. Things are just...cool." I was jealous of people in the past experiencing monumental upheaval.
Now....as an adult in 2023? The phrases "be careful what you wish for" and "may you live in interesting times" feel less like fun fortune cookie messages....and more like dire threats.
Im amazed at how much ellipses you managed to fit in one comment
look up the song "I'm Drunk in 1999", you'll appreciate it. Kinda reflects what you're talking about.
@@OmoshiroiWagunura-op9fy Could not agree more, with all of that. I feel you on every single point you made. What I try to tell myself now is: Your thoughts and beliefs and values and decisions really MATTER now. What you do and say...or don't do and say, matters. Being ignorant or complacent isn't an option (for me). The Putin threat for you, in Germany, must feel real in a way I as an American can't fully comprehend, but I understand it for sure.
Meanwhile, here in the US, the current frontrunner in the polls is a man who promises to be dictator on day one and is no longer dog-whistling full on authoritarianism, but is actually just coming right out and saying it. And the majority of voters either want that...or are comfortable enough with it to keep their head down.
It's genuinely terrifying. If Trump wins, the overt public protests and unwillingness to yield to America's first ever dictator, will make the 2020 George Floyd protests look like child's play. At least I hope so. Because I suspect that will be the outcome of our election. 😬

Conservatives definitely like rules, just rules for the poor and the underprivileged.
Conservatives: want to uphold the status quo
Everyone else: “the status quo is hurting people. We should change it.”
Conservatives: dig themselves in instead of admitting their wrong
Conservatives: even though our intentions are good we want to uphold the bad status quo
Leftist Progressives: even though our intentions are good we want to implement a bad plan that will make things worse
Liberals want to uphold the status quo. Conservativism is the ideology of radical regression.

These people actually want to take us backwards. I'd say they're reactionaries.
"THIS SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST INDICATION THAT MAYBE THE PEOPLE WHO LOUDLY PROCLAIM THEIR FAITH AREN'T REALLY THAT CHRISTIAN. AND THEY'RE JUST USING IT TO WIN BROWNIE POINTS AMONG THEIR RELIGIOUS CONSERVATIVE AUDIENCE." 📢📢📢
Duh! We know. Not everyone knows. But a lot of us know.
You are right, the right uses religion to its advantage. But Democrats also use identity and social justice as brownie points. Half the people I talked to that didn't want Biden wanted Gavin Newson, only bc they said "Well he's young, gay, it would be perfect!" and that's all they can support him with. Politicians are greedy from both parties. Call out corruption where you see it, not just if it helps your movement in that moment.
It's worth noting that ironically, the EPA was established by Richard Nixon in 1970.
Looking at this as an European is like looking at a teenager going through their emo phase.

One of the greatest gifts given to the right-wing extremists was the word "woke". They cannot define it and that's the way the want to keep it. It can be moulded into whatever suits their needs, namely anything that they disagree with or disagrees with them is immediately defined as "woke". I believe it was initially supposed to mean that those crimes going previously unpunished would no longer be ignored or turned a blind eye on. But the Republican machinery reconceptualized it for their own purposes. It has certain Gestapo quality to its twisting of language. We certainly live in fascinating and scary times.
here ill define it. Woke is a term generally used by people on the right-wing political isle. It is used to mean anything that is considered "liberal" or "left wing" .
One thing is certain: "woke" has absolutely nothing to do with being awake.😂
Woke is what you'll never be, go back to sleep. Sheeple
co-opting the language is a common tactic; don't be distracted by such minutia, pay attention to what this guy is saying and you'll get a good overview of what's going on. Knowledge is power.
Something that is woke is trying to cater to any audience that is considered "oppressed" in some way. This ranges from women to PoC to lgbtq. Generally the idea is that white men suck, while everyone else has some form of virtue.
It's very noticeable in many types of entertainment and honestly only making the problem worse: "You like hulk? Well here's the girl version she's much better at everything and she can control her anger, because being a woman is the most difficult thing ever. Also the villain of the story is litterally all the Hulk fans. " That's one of many examples and anyone into Hulk will feel insulted, which pushes them further into the arms of the fascists.
I'm very much on the left of the political spectrum, but I think trying to understand where they're coming from, rather than trying to "gotcha" them, is a better way forward. Especially since what is actually meant by the term woke is pretty obvious. Some people take it too far, but those are on our side as well.
I get very “whites only” vibes from this
Yup
Same.
Thats where this eventually leads it begins with lgbt, then women, then interracial marriage, then racial equality, then religious mandates. We are currently at the women’s rights state. The thing is Western Christianity uses the great chain of being, which is the root of institutional racism.
Blacks are the one pushing for "People of Color" spaces. Left or right, all leads to the same thing.

as horrible and terrifying as this is, they have done a very good job at getting what they want (which obviously makes it more scary). If you want people to do what you want there are a few simple steps:
1. complement them, tell them they are smart or powerful
2. align what you want with their values and show them how implementing your ideas goes along with their values
3. make it very clear (as in step-by-step instructions) what you want and how it can be done
4. offer to help
The heritage foundation and especially through Project 2025 has followed this perfectly and it is terrifying. I wish that people on the left had the time and money to make this kind of concerted, structured effort to get their plans in place. One of the things that always gave me the tiniest sliver of hope was how incompetent Trump is, but with the backing of this sort of clear, no-thinking-required guidance he is more dangerous now then ever.
That has little to do with it. The Plan is inherently underhanded and manipulative and most Left-leaning people aren't willing to even THINK in underhanded terms, let alone act on them. I can't tell you how many rolled eyes and dismissive sighs I got from politically active Democratic friends of mine in '16 and '20 when I laid out this kind of shit; they struggle with the very ACT of using their imagination the way their enemy does. They just won't GO there in their heads.
@@Theomite Idk, Democrats have no qualms about using lawfare against Trump. Problem is the Republicans are in such an advantageous position because of the failures of the modern-day Democratic Party who consistently sold out their soul for what little money and power they got and they misused that power just as any Republican today would.
Love me some Dale Carnige
@@Theomitefacts. if the leftists just borrowed some of the right wing tactics but for their own benefits, they would be a strong pushback contender. however, they think if they just have patience and let the right wingers shoot themselves on the foot, they’ll get their votes. too bad most Americans here (including myself tbh) can’t, won’t, or don’t care. the individuality mentality is ingrained in us. “if this policy wont affect MY life, why would I vote for it?“
@@brayanvelez2517 I think it's a holdover from the Civil Rights Movement and Liberalism 1.0: that bigotry and hatred are rooted in ignorance. So if you just maintain a stable, steady, and positive influence, they'll come around. It wasn't really until Trump that the mainstream saw overtly that bigotry and hatred can be rooted in an intelligent and cruel nature.
I think Liberals are still trying to get a handle on the idea that some people can know better, not care, and do it anyway. They just can't wrap their heads around it.
Theocracy Watch has been documenting the rise of the religious right and Christian dominionism since the beginning. They are a valuable resource for anyone who wants to know what these folk are capable of and how they go about doing it.

Not enough is being said about project 2025. Do people think if they ignore it, it will it go away? It won't. If it doesn't work this cycle it will just come back next time around, and worse.
Yes, it will, & no number of dem victories will stop that. The only way to peacefully undo a fascist movement is to directly address the material conditions which fuel it.
Take huge, visible steps to reduce wealth inequality, lower cost of living, & enrich the poor & so-called "middle class."
Free university, massive socialized housing programs, universal healthcare, a national employment guarantee, trust busting, & large-scale wealth redistribution. This is the only way to end fascism in the US without bloodshed.
Exactly. Like we have to fight it now while we can, or it will be normalized and pass on through without discussion. There is always a "too late" in these scenarios. Other than letting those around me know whats happening, and voting with my dollar, I have no clue how to fight it off.
I'm a right-wing to far-right theologically conservative Christian, but I'd still vote for Biden if I was old enough to do so. Trump is such a liar that it's clear all he wants is power.

The nuts & bolts of it are to basically use every legal legislative means they have to install puppets in every branch, every department, every bureau within the government.
That way they can change the laws to suit their currently not-quite-legal plans, set precedents for legality, & advance their radical bootlicking dystopian ideology even further.
